Read a random definition: mesne process

A quick definition of impeach:

Impeach: To accuse a public official of doing something wrong or breaking the law. This can lead to a trial to decide if they should be punished or removed from their job. It can also mean to question the truthfulness of a witness or challenge the accuracy of a legal document.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To impeach means to charge a public official with a crime or misconduct. It is a legal process used to hold government officials accountable for their actions.

For example, if a president is accused of breaking the law, Congress can impeach them. This means they will investigate the accusations and decide whether or not to remove the president from office.

Impeachment can also be used in other contexts. For instance, in a court of law, a lawyer might impeach a witness by questioning their honesty or accuracy. This means they are trying to show that the witness is not telling the truth or is mistaken about what they saw or heard.

Another example of impeachment is when someone challenges the accuracy of a legal document. This means they are questioning whether the document is correct or if there are errors that need to be corrected.

Overall, impeachment is a serious legal process that is used to hold people accountable for their actions. It is an important part of our democracy and helps ensure that those in power are held to a high standard of behavior.
